Subclinical rhythmic EEG discharge of adults (SREDA) in pediatric population: A case series with systematic review of the literature.

Subclinical rhythmic electrographic discharge of adults (SREDA) is one of the rarest and most challenging non-epileptic electroencephalographic variants. Although the pathogenesis of this activity is unclear, an association with vascular insufficiency and cerebral hypoxia has been proposed. SREDA usually occurs in adulthood, but there are few reports in the pediatric population.

COVID-19 Pandemic School Disruptions and Acute Mental Health in Children and Adolescents.

Importance: There are suggestions that school pressure may be stressful and a factor in child and adolescent mental health disturbances, but data about this association are scarce and inconclusive.

Objective: To assess whether varying degrees of school interruption were associated with changes in emergency department (ED) psychiatric visits of children and adolescents before and after the COVID-19 outbreak.

Design, Setting, And Participants: A cross-sectional observational study was conducted at 9 urban university hospitals in Italy.

Synthesis and Photopatterning of Synthetic Thiol-Norbornene Hydrogels.

Hydrogels are a class of soft biomaterials and the material of choice for a myriad of biomedical applications due to their biocompatibility and highly tunable mechanical and biochemical properties. Specifically, light-mediated thiol-norbornene click reactions between norbornene-modified macromers and di-thiolated crosslinkers can be used to form base hydrogels amenable to spatial biochemical modifications via subsequent light reactions between pendant norbornenes in the hydrogel network and thiolated peptides. Macromers derived from natural sources (e.

Electroclinical Features of Epilepsy in Kleefstra Syndrome.

Background: Kleefstra syndrome (KS) or 9q34.3 microdeletion syndrome (OMIM #610253) is a rare genetic condition featuring intellectual disability, hypotonia, and dysmorphic facial features. Autism spectrum disorder, severe language impairment, and sleep disorders have also been described.
